Split/Complete | 2017
Participatory action
Split/Complete is a participatory action I conducted with a group of neighbours, artists, local activists, planners and researchers, in a site of an abandoned Palestinian house, standing alone in the middle of a Jaffa square. After discovering the building is actually just the Southern wing of a formerly larger structure, which was sharply severed, I started to collect information about the site and created a drawing of the original floor plan of the house. By gathering remnants of building-material found nearby the site with the group, we recreated the full outline of the original structure. And so, by re-evoking the house's presence, we brought back to the site its past proportions - of a large house with a garden, rather than a bare monument standing on an empty lot.
Moreover, visually representing the building’s story in the public space and collaborating with people from different disciplines, gave the opportunity to achieve a wider discourse regarding the Palestinian assets owned by the state of Israel, among the local and the proffessional communities.
